The long hot summer has been wonderful growing weather - giving the community farm our best ever crops of onions, courgettes, French beans, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, pumpkins, chard, globe artichokes, beetroot and herbs - but it has also brought its little share of problems.

| Red spider mite on French beans. |
All of these examples are in our polytunnels, photographed today - if anybody has any tips on organic methods of discouraging these insects please post them here - thank you!
